Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror Hints

How can I operate the pallet carrier?

  • 1 of 8: One of the crates is blocking the handle.
  • 2 of 8: You can't push it away with the small crate on top of it.
  • 3 of 8: Did you try repositioning the small crate?
  • 4 of 8: Maybe you can put it on the crate blocking the elevator door.
  • 5 of 8: But if you push that crate out of the elevator the door will close.
  • 6 of 8: If you already freed Nico, you should have a piece of tape.
  • 7 of 8: Put the tape on the photoelectric cell and you will be able to push the crate out of the elevator.
  • 8 of 8: Now you can move the small crate from one crate to another and push away the crate blocking the pallet carrier.
